Assorted citrus-look prints from the Sorbet Garden collection by Jill Finley of Jillily Studio for Henry Glass Fabrics sparked quilt tester Mary Pepper's imagination when assembling this version of Urban Attitude. She eliminated the 6-1/2x5-1/2" rectangles and used setting rectangles grouped by color families to create strong diagonal lines across the quilt top.

For a tote with style that will stand up to daily use, we paired cotton canvas from the French Court collection with a black print from the Maze collection, both from Timeless Treasures. For ease of sewing, project tester Mary Pepper recommends stitching heavier weight fabrics with a denim or jeans needle.

If the thought of making yards of gathered edging gives you pause, here's an easy way to get the same look: Use ruffles by the yard. This elegant pillow features 2"-wide premade ruffles, a time-saving product from Michael Miller Fabrics.

Using prints from the Pinfeathers collection by Carina Gardner teamed up with Simply Basics, both from Northcott Fabrics, editor Jill Abeloe Mead made Home at Last into a reversible pillow. To showcase the appliquéd blocks, she surrounded each with a series of tone-on-tone and stripe borders.

When Katie Hennagir designed the Little One collection for Robert Kaufman Fabrics, she gave equal time to all parts of the color wheel. This colorway features all the adorable prints, dots, and stripes that you see in her Playing Tag quilt, but in colors not so traditionally feminine.

To give Wintergreen a fresh look, quilt tester Judy Sams Sohn changed the colors to blue, cream, and gold prints and made all two-color blocks. By using similar cream prints in each block, a lattice design emerges on the quilt top. Fabrics are from the Paisley Denim collection by Skipping Stones Studio for Clothworks.
